The Guardians channeled their inner Cobra Kai on Thursday, as they struck first and struck hard. They scored two runs in the first inning, three runs in the third and five runs in the seventh, cruising to the easy 10-3 win.
Three Guardians hit home runs: David Fry ($4,500; 18 FPTS) hit a three-run shot in the third inning, Jose Ramirez ($6,000; 25 FPTS) hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Bo Naylor ($2,500; 18 FPTS) hit a three-run home run in the seventh. Ramirez added a double in the third inning.
Ben Lively ($8,000; 14.5 FPTS) was in control for most of the night, walking one, striking out four and allowing two earned runs on four hits in six innings of work. The lone blemish was a solo homer served up to Anthony Santander ($5,300; 14 FPTS) in the fourth inning.In the Top DraftKings MLB DFS Targets, Values article, Garion Thorne was spot on with Santander as his Stud Outfielder. “Do you know who leads the league in home runs since June 1? It’s not the aforementioned Witt. It’s not Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani. It’s Santander with 22. In his last 229 plate appearances, the switch-hitting outfielder owns a massive .354 ISO with a 169 wRC+. This is all extra relevant for tonight’s matchup with the Guardians, as Ben Lively ($8,000) has recently been having some issues with the long ball. To wit, Lively surrendered 1.93 home runs per nine in July. That’s a bad formula when facing the Orioles.”
